On 22 October 2009, the Australian Government launched the National Conversation to consult with young people and the broader community on the development of a National Strategy for Young Australians.

One of the ways you can participate and have your say is by visiting the Australian Youth Forum website.

The Prime Minister has identified seven core priorities for the Strategy:

• empowering young Australians in their schools, institutes of technology, and universities to shape their own futures
• supporting young Australians within their families
• mobilising young Australians within their communities
• enabling young Australians to participate safely and confidently online
• equipping young Australians with the skills and personal networks they need for employment
• strengthening early intervention with young Australians to help prevent any problems getting worse and to help young people
• get their lives back on track
• establishing clear cut legal consequences for behaviours that endanger the safety of others.
• The National Conversation is being supported by the Australian Youth Forum (AYF), and the conversation has already started with the views and opinions that young people have provided through the AYF directly feeding the development of the Strategy.
